Before President Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress can enact much of their legislative agenda, they have to deal with some unfinished business — completing work on the current budget year's spending bills.

The article from MSN discusses the ongoing challenges in Congress regarding the passage of a spending bill, exacerbated by former President Donald Trump's influence. Trump has been pushing for significant cuts in government spending, which has led to a deadlock in negotiations. House Speaker Mike Johnson, under pressure from Trump and conservative factions within the GOP, has resisted a bipartisan spending deal previously agreed upon by Senate leaders. This resistance has caused delays and increased the likelihood of a government shutdown as the deadline for funding approaches. The situation is complicated by internal GOP divisions, with some members advocating for drastic spending reductions, while others, along with Democrats, seek a more moderate approach to avoid economic disruption. The article highlights the tension between Trump's desire to reduce government size and the practical necessities of funding government operations, potentially leading to a partial shutdown if no agreement is reached.
